IT WAS a fair stand-up fight between
Dallas and Fort Worth over the st. Louis,
Arkansas and Texas Railroad. Dallas
sent sixteen delegates in a special car to
Texsrkana; Fort Worth sent Peter Smith
with five maps. The issue was long
doubtful, until one morning at O'Clock
Peter Smith arose from his bed and made
sixth map, showing that Dallas was out
of the way of direct line, and that set
tied the Dallas special car with Its six
teen delegates.

The Annefifa NJ Birds-

or all animals birds possess the quickest
motions, the most energetic respiration
and the warmest blood, and they conse-
quently undergo the most rapid change OF
substance and need the most food.
Although q few creatures are so pleasing
to the aesthetic tastes Of a POLITICALLY in
clined person as birds, the breeder knows
that most OF them are to be looked upon
as hearty or excessive eaters. ANY one
who closely observed birds and their con-
duct Will soon remark that all their
thoughts and efforts, aside from the few
days they spend in wooing and their short
periods Of resting, are directed to getting
something to eat. With what restless
earnestness do titmics plunge through
the bushes and the treesi Not O
leaf is uninvestigated, every chink in the
bark is examined for whatever eatable it
may be hiding, and a sharp look Is cast
into every joint OF a branch. How in
dustrlously docs the ousel turn and thrash
the leaves on the ground Of the woods oil
the day long, spying It's game with a
glance OF it's sharp eye, and swapping it
up on the instant!
After observing a few such Incidents we
can easily believe the stories that are re-
lated OF the fish eating powers Of the cor
morant, and Of the fruit eating birds that
are able to consume three times their
weight every day.-Popular Science
Monthly.

The question of how cheap a family can

I'm private on divers and numerous oc-

reader, how cheaply a student who is hew-
ing his own way through college by his
own unaided exertions must liver / was
sitting in a suburban depot waiting for
the train which was to take me back to
Chicago, one day last week, when / was
accosted by q young man whom recog-
niZed as q student in attendance on a
prominent school not far away.
He IS studying for the ministry, and
freely informed me that he had been out
delivering subscription books, and that
this was his way of earning a college edu-
cation. ~ occasionally miss a term" he
remarked, cheerily, ''but manage, after
all, to get along comfortably Glow
much does 1t cost your poorest students to
Nye," l inquired. IF they board them
selves, as / and many do" he replied,
''about a dollar q week pays the expenses.
But" he added, ''some live on less than
that, and ] know Of q friend Of mine in the
same school, an earnest biblical student,
who told me himself only recently that he
lives OH thirty Fights per week." The
